Ouch

Piers, I can't really compare our situations since you are a true fan and I, in a nod to Raskin, could have named my bracket "Basketball Interloper." You are Captain 'Cuse, whereas I have never claimed to be Lieutenant Husk. But it was tough to see both of our teams go down in flames. It's great to hear from Nell and Charles Stuart. I wanted to blog from a bar as well -- Meredith and I were at a local watering hole for a bit this evening, watching Syracuse and Washington receive their deportation orders. But I couldn't figure out how to post from my BlackBerry. Well, life goes on, Piers. Now is the time for everyone to start rooting for the Ivy League.
